It originally belonged to the Jesuits until the 1980s when it was transferred to the Archdiocese of Xalapa.

In 1989, it suffered a fire that destroyed the main altar. However, after various reconstruction works, it remains one of the most beautiful churches in the city.

Its facade features a clear Romanesque style. The main entrance and the lateral ones are crowned with semi-circular arches adorned with geometric decorations.

Inside, it combines Baroque and Neoclassical styles with pilasters featuring Doric capitals in the central nave.

It has a three-nave floor plan and features a wooden pulpit. The main altarpiece is flanked by Solomonic columns.
